Research Project:
CONTRIBUTIONS TO A FRAMEWORK FOR MANAGING INSECT RESISTANCE TO TRANSGENIC CROPS: NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY
Location: Corn Insects and Crop Genetics Research
Project Number: 3625-22000-016-15
Project Type:
Specific Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: May 25, 2004
End Date: Aug 31, 2008
Objective:
Contribute to a scientific information framework for managing insect resistance to transgenic plants by evaluating and integrating insect resistance management models. This information can provide enhanced support to the concerned public in its deliberations about the use of transgenic plants.
Approach:
This effort will bring together modelers working in the area of insect resistance to assist stakeholders in sorting out the implications of insect resistance management models. It will identify important data needs for protection of transgenic crops and will assist in the development of modeling efforts that will benefit the science of resistance management in general and Bt resistance in particular.
